I knew I forgot something.

That is where the 'minimal style' comes in to play - we want to take that bulk of the menu and actually shorten it up. I apologize if that wasn't clear - this post just shows and is looking for feedback on a top nav. Resource bar below or above. Simple. Here's some plans for the future of this project: 1. We want to minimize the clicks - so while we are working on this project, we also have other projects underway that reduce the amount of screens you see to get to the destination you're heading. For example - military units. There are 7 separate pages to update/edit your units. We want to make this 1 screen with all of the information provided for you to 1 click or input your own value for units. This would require 1 link at the top nav for 'military' instead of 7. 2. High Traffic Links - like you said and like @Hime-sama just said mirroring your feedback in a DM on discord - we don't want you to have to navigate through a drop down to get to those high traffic links like; revenue, wars, trade...etc. When we minimize the style of the menu and when I say minimize I don't mean make the font smaller - just the scale of the menu. You'll be able to group those low traffic links into their categories, stuff that doesn't need that fast response.... and then provide your personal high traffic links to the top nav for one click access. So, take a look at this mockup I just threw together real quick (don't mind the spacing, color, etc....this is just a general idea of what we are actually heading for) So, the left side will have your hot/high traffic links that some of y'all are worried about losing access to - not every one is there right now because I just threw this together in 5 minutes. The left side holds your heavy menu items like world, community, account - and of course your inbox. I added some flair to the inbox just to show what we could go for. View Nation, Revenue, My Wars, Alliance, (add military) would be all one click access. Things that i'm posting to the design team and alex right now are: -Lets make those hot links configurable to players - we can do that on mobile, so why not on larger displays. This way you're in control of what you want for your hot link access - if you're a raider, get your war military options, if you're a trader - get your market, options....etc. I hope this helps better with a visualization of where we *want* to head to - but again the primary focus here was 'hey, y'all like a top nav.' This does help tho. Shoutout to Hime for helping me out with the mock.

Atlas Technologies Administration Offices Announcement: Organizational Update Public Relations: Tali Corporate Contact: Jordan To: Stakeholders; Shareholders; World Community Earlier this week, Atlas Technologies Administration initiated their succession process for the Chairman role of the organization. Mad Max - Chairman of the Board lead the effort to identify and assess potential candidates for consideration by the full board of directors. The duty of the acting Chairman is to provide the vision of the organization as a whole and after assessments were made and complete a successor has been identified. Mad Max has maintained his position as Chairman for the organization's existence, some 227 days. During this time, shares have risen and internal and external growth goals have been met. Earlier this quarter, Atlas Technologies saw a partnership upgrade with their early investor, Camelot and the organization has maintained a low turnover rate for employment carrying on average 40 employees. Statement from Mad Max - Chairman of Atlas Technologies "Over the course of my career in leadership here - I have often times acted with ill-pride and ego which has led to a more abrasive characteristic of myself. During the creation of our great company, I accepted the role as Chairman to champion our group ideas to build a foundation of progression, difference, and quality - things I have failed at in the past. My time within the highest role within Atlas Technologies has only been made successful by the great leadership team we have installed over the course of our existence in Orbis - I cannot take full, only partial credit for our successes over the last 227 days. My departure from the role as Chairman is not due to any personal reasons, nor the duties tasked to me as Chairman - rather - I want to continue championing the foundation principals of our company that we hold deepest to our core. Putting my pride and ego to the side and allowing fresh eyes and further progression into our operations is a necessary move to continue to meet our goals and add further success to our portfolio. At the time of this announcement to our employees, stakeholders, and shareholders - I would have already confirmed leadership transitions and installed Jordan as the new Chairman of Atlas Technologies. Jordan has not only embodied the principals of our organization, but he has consecutively gone above and beyond his own duties within his role as Director of Strategic Investments. Included in this decision and assessment of Jordan as successor was not only his role within the company, but his role as a friend to me as well as to many others throughout the world of Orbis. His attitude, demeanor, and character profile is and has always been outstanding. The role of the Chairman is to provide the vision for the future of the company - if anyone is qualified the most for this charge, it is Jordan. Thank you Board of Directors for your support during my lead and Congratulations to Jordan for your new role as Chairman of Atlas Technologies. I know in my heart, you will go above and beyond where I left it. Mad Max Atlas Technologies Administrative Offices" TL;DR Mad Max has stepped down as Chairman of Atlas Technologies & the Sweet Sweet Boy from Narnia is the successor.

Not to sound - harsh - but nowhere does it say mobile would be affected by this change, in fact 2 of us on the design team have said that mobile wouldn't change. The idea of a total site re-design is to make the site responsive - which means no matter what device you use it on, the user would have the same usability and ease of access to all areas of the site. This is something Alex has been working to implement through various portions of the site already. Integrating the Footer/Header portions of the site to that responsive design means he can then move to the body of the site - which he hopes would push to a quicker resolution to a site-wide update. We have thought of this - which is why we stated mobile wouldn't be affected and only larger displays would see a new top nav - something that mobile is slightly already utilizing. Generating ideas is easy, implementing them is hard because people choose not to read, ask questions, or focus on 1 minute detail of an idea or potential design without providing the positive feedback within their response that actually aids the design and site development team with what they need to proceed. I'll outline a few portions of this navigation for those of you who are here: 1. This will not affect the way you navigate in mobile mobile users already utilize a top nav and due to the screen size on mobile devices, your menu would appear like any type of menu appearing from the side of the screen by clicking that hamburger icon. This is a widely used practice for any application or responsive site. 2. The offered mock-ups in the OP are not considered 'finished' - they are just a visual of the idea presented to the design team from Alex. We take on his ideas and plans and create what it could look like - he weighs in, we work in developing a modern style-look, as well as something that is smart and user friendly. We then take our designs to alex as well as YOU so we can get some good feedback. 3. I've been PW discord mod, Forum Mod, in the Closed Dev discussions back in the day, and the recent dev team - and I can personally say that out of all those teams, the Design team is not only the most fun to work in, but has a solid group of people that actually focus on what you need and what would actually BE needed as the site continues to change and update with Alex and his Dev. Suggesting that we are only here because we are 'buddies' with Alex is wrong and quite ignorant. Each team member provides me with a portfolio and answers to a short questionnaire to determine if they would be fit to help out the team. We are literally taking time out of our lives, for no pay or benefit whatsoever besides a group color and achievement in-game to assist with site changes and aesthetics development. We are working for all players and encouraging positive feedback from the community before any changes are made through our side - we rely on it. That being said, be the change you wish to see in the world. If you think you could provide a good perspective to the design team, my discord DMs are open.Mad Max#0001 - hit me up and I'll provide you an app.

Welcome to the 200 Club - congratulations!

Trust me when I say, we are with you on that. We are at the Will of Alex and there’s a lot that may be a mess within how it was built which really isn’t a secret. Main thing is he wants to make a change and things that we have worked on are what he wants to change currently - later I’ll post up our task board so y’all can see what we have on our table.

Thanks for the feedback - We don't expect a change to the mobile navigation menu - we used a larger display mock to indicate a non-mobile change. Thank you for your feedback - Like stated in the OP, the goal is to limit unnecessary drop downs while utilizing high traffic links that players use every day. There has also been the suggestion to allow players to edit their player menu on those larger displays just like you can on the mobile display. The sidebar menu has 'drop downs' in a sense when accessing the numerous pages via a given main category item.

Hello Community, Help us with some positive feedback on these mockups. Concept: Design a responsive Header for menu responsiveness across all devices - with the most visual change on larger displays (pc, large tablets). This change will likely not change the look of those used to the mobile menu - other than possible shortening of menu lists. Mobile users are already used to the top Nav options they can use as well as clicking the 3 horizontal line (hamburger) menu icon to access the sidebar/dropdown full menu. That would all likely just be updated to fit the form. Again, those on mobile might see an update in the look/feel - but would still use the menu the same way. These mockups are for what they would look like on a larger display which many people use. Lastly, these are just design concepts - the actual look of the real deal would be polished, we create mock-ups of the ideas to have a visual of what the community or Alex has asked for so that the site development lady and Alex can actually implement it into the site. Some feedback from the discord community was: -Have the option for either top or sidebar This likely will not be happening - we will be redesigning the header/footer of the site so that Alex can get in and start work on the body - this opens the door to a total site redesign to bring it to a modern age. Our goal is to have the top nav be a bit more user friendly, quick access to links users use most frequently and limiting the dropdown box size. Here are some mock-ups created by team member, Viselli: Image shows top nav with resource bar on top - no dropdown shown.^ Image shows top nav with resource bar on the bottom - with drop down example. ^ Image shows top bar nav with resource bar on top - with drop down example. ^ Do your thing community - give us the feedback! Remember, focus on the concept and not the details of the image.

Arrgh Shape vs Greater Community Perfect Build shape?

Ya know, as much as annoyance Arrgh has been through our existence at AT making my defense channel ping me when I’m sleeping - a counter or a simple “hey I’m active” from our nation pushes to a quicker end result. As much as they are pirates looking for that booty I don’t think we have ever had a bad interaction with any of them. 😂 what the hell did you do Alexio

On Behalf of the Orbis Community,

All they gotta do is claim their victory to secure that dub.

Hostile takeover.

Hope in gov? haha - congrats on the retirement folks and congrats to the new team. o/

Interesting theme - hard to have a theme like this these days. BUT I do know a bit about the operations and it was pretty large, crazy, and successful for what they were trying to achieve anyway during World War Dos. удачи

Community, We are currently brainstorming changes to the Military Screen located here: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/military/ I'd like to get some ideas from y'all before we get set in our ways - how would you like to see that page setup? Think about device responsiveness, ease of access, etc.

Do you have ideas that could make the game look better? Talk to me about it. The page design above has been accepted by Alex! I'm not sure when that design would go into play, but keep an eye out for it.
